The ACT Party have inspired settler redneck crack death threats…
Auckland University students and staff faced death threats over spaces for Pasifika and Māori
The University of Auckland has revealed students and staff received death threats during the controversy over designated spaces for Pasifika and Māori studentsearlier this year.
The university’s four pro vice-chancellors revealed the threats in a newsletter posted to the university’s website. The leaders are Equity Professor Cathy Stinear, Māori Associate Professor Te Kawehau Hoskins, Education Professor Bridget Kool and Pacific Professor Jemaima Tiatia-Siau, who is of Samoan descent.
“In March, a temporary sign identifying a space by Māori students and Pacific students was described by political leaders as segregation.
“The uninformed claim resulted in real harm – including triggering abuse and death threats directed at our students and staff.
…it is offensive and outrageous in the extreme for ACT, NZ First and National to call Women’s Space, Queer Space, Māori Space and Pacifica Space at Auckland University ‘KKK’, ‘Separatism’ or ‘Segregation’…
Deputy Prime Minister and New Zealand First Leader Winston Peters says the University of Auckland’s action of having designated areas for Māori and Pasifikastudents were comparable to alt-right racist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan.
“It is phenomenal that we not only would accept this as New Zealanders, but that some people have not learnt the lessons of our world’s history of horrors with this type of thinking,” Peters said.
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said he hasn’t seen “the detail” of the segregated sections but at first glance, he said they looked “totally inappropriate”.
“There is no place for discrimination or segregation in New Zealand. Universities should be places of inclusion, not exclusion,” Luxon said.
Act tertiary education spokesperson Dr Parmjeet Parmar said she is contacting all the universities in the country and will be attempting to remove the “segregated” areas.
She said the signs are reminiscent of an “ugly past” that New Zealand has left behind.
She wants an explanation from Auckland University to the taxpayers who “keep their doors open”.
“It is disappointing that it even needs to be said, but Act’s position is that blocking people from spaces based on their ethnicity is unequivocally wrong,” Parmar said.
…they are competing for culture war bullshit rhetoric against spaces that have been at Auckland University for 4 decades FFS!
These spaces provide important resources for those students to access alongside support and counselling.
To denigrate these spaces on a University and threaten them is fucking fascism and the speed and ease with which this hard right racist climate denying beneficiary bashing
Government have moved to start purging those their redneck voters despise should wake every Kiwi who is disgusted by these tactics.
They are openly vandalising the egalitarian state and calling it performance art!
Women’s Space, Queer Space, Māori Space and Pacifica Space are not comparable to the KKK!
Women’s Space, Queer Space, Māori Space and Pacifica Space is not segregation!
Women’s Space, Queer Space, Māori Space and Pacifica Space is not separatism!
They are spaces that have been available to support those students at University for decades! To attack them in the manner National, ACT and NZ First have done based on nothing more than redneck anger on social media shows how far we’ve allowed the extremes of this hard right racist climate denying beneficiary bashing Government have stooped to.
This is Redneck Fuckwittery 101. We should not allow these right wing fanatics to start culture wars on our Universities and it led to death threats!
This is the direct ramifications of using vile hate speech for political point scoring for right wing fuckwits on Twitter!
The Political Right should be ashamed of themselves!
How dare the Right denigrate the memory and values of Efeso Collins by attacking the spaces he set up!
How dare the Right denigrate the memory and values of Professor Ranguni Walker by attacking the spaces he set up!
How dare the Right use their vitriol to inspire death threats!
If you are not sickened by this hard right racist beneficiary bashing climate denying Government, then you’re the problem!
They do this as a smoke screen ,while they sell roads ,water ,and power to whoever wants them .Then they close everything else then say look we saved $2.9 billion to hand to landlords so they can buy more existing houses .Then in a couple of years time they will say ,look at all the extra house landlords now own ,we have fixed the housing crisis .But they wont show the thousands of families that are now homeless .
Apparently, Dr. Parmjeet Parmar doesn’t understand the problem. If our ‘ugly past’ had truly been relegated to the past, as she claims, nobody would have received any death threats. Simple.
ACT has got enough guns now to shoot themselves in the foot continually.
When starting a sentence with a capital always end the previous sentence with a full stop, Freda Utterly Pathetic like Bob thick fuck no mates.
Lol
Country Boy your wasted in farming, your word Smith skills should be used by the Labour PR team.
I agree that Country Boy has his heart in the right place although I can not see anything good coming from him being in the Labour PR team. I think the Labour Party should have him as an advisor as whoever is directing them now is clueless.
Well Countryboy isn’t sleazy or corrupt enough to be in the National, ACT or NZ First parties
Have to say darling, us Christians got death threats of the act party rat fuckers over our opposition to euthanasia. Worse for Disabled women of colour of course, because their considered woke or some such shit.
There are very few times when I think Americanisms are superior to good old kiwi or Brit wit. This occasion is one of them.
Americans have a saying that exposed the bigotry and stupidity of white wankers claiming discrimination when others set aside safe zones for themselves, regardless of whether it’s gender, sexuality, race or religion.
That term is a sarcastic intonation “white privilege”.
It means claiming victimhood where it’s patently obvious there is none.
Trouble is, the recipients are too dumb, too stupid, too thick and too inbred and uneducated to notice people are laughing AT them and not with them.
